The pearl of Africa
The last two weeks at Kagando have absolutely flown and I'm now sadly at the end of this amazing, eye opening experience. My last day at Kagando was busy catching up with all the newly made friends and saying goodbye. We made another fire at the side of the clay house and a bunch of the staff and students come around for a bit. The friendly community and the happiness they generate through their simple way of life have made me feel truly welcomed during my stay. Corny ...

Chimps and other primates
... to the village. A boardwalk has been constructed throughout the swamp but you need to watch your footing as sometimes the boards are broken or at an angle. I wasn’t going to end up in a swamp for the second time that day. The walk takes about 3 hours and we really enjoyed it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and he had with him another young man who was learning the ropes. We ended up seeing quite a lot of wildlife despite the area ...
